Malawi Christmas Gifts

Our 2018 Christmas card features a Malawi village scene and has been designed by Nyassa Hinde exclusively for Open Arms Malawi! We are delighted with the finished piece and hope you enjoy it too. There are some other cards from Malawi and some more traditional cards available from our online shop for you too.

Our calendar illustrates the year beautifully through 12 fabulous stories and photographs from the team in Malawi.

A gift from Malawi

Our Christmas gifts bring you our most popular presents. These make an ideal and meaningful Christmas gift for the person who has it all.

The beautiful card that delivers your Gifts that do Good, features Tamala’s wonderful smile and story. It speaks for the care, shelter and love given to every child at Open Arms Malawi and shows the difference that your donation will make to the lives of children.

Your gift will be presented with a picture and description of what the gift will pay for in Malawi. Choose from giving Baby Milk and the Best Start in Life through to help in communities with Village Essentials.

A special Christmas treat

We all love the surprise of opening a parcel. And that is the same for our children in Malawi. You will find that one of our gifts is to give a Christmas present to one of our older children.

At our foster homes the children usually wear second hand clothes bought from the markets, but at Christmas we want to give them the once-a-year treat of shopping for a new outfit and toy that they can choose themselves. Shopping for Sunday best is a great occasion. The boys often try on colourful jeans, and the girls love sparkly dresses which they will wear all through the year. This gift is called Make a Child’s Christmas and it really does!

A gift from Malawi

This year we are bringing you a real treat with the option of buying a genuine Malawian gift from the small selection that we have. You can find small bags and aprons available through our online shop as well as cosmetic bags, elephant bags and pencil cases. These are all handmade in Malawi at Nettie’s Sewing Project. This is a wonderful initiative just next door to our Mangochi infant home where young people learn valuable sewing skills and earn a living through tailoring.

Do check out our online shop you can be sure that your gift will be helping someone in Malawi too.
